“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster.”- Friedrich NietzscheAlmost every tyranny being perpetrated by the U.S. government against the citizenry - purportedly to keep us safe and the nation secure - has come about as a result of some threat manufactured in one way or another by our own government.Think about it.Cyberwarfare. Terrorism. Bio-chemical attacks. The nuclear arms race. Surveillance. The drug wars. Domestic extremism. The COVID-19 pandemic.In almost every instance, the U.S. government (often spearheaded by the FBI) has in its typical Machiavellian fashion sown the seeds of terror...

The head of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said the “Delta” variant of COVID-19 could become the most common strain of the virus in the United States.“It’s more transmissible than the Alpha variant, or the UK variant, that we have here,” Dr. Rochelle Walensky told ABC News last week. “We saw that quickly become the dominant strain in a period of one or two months, and I anticipate that is going to be what happens with the Delta strain here.”Health officials, including Walensky, have said that current COVID-19 vaccines remain effective against the strain.The Delta variant,...

Iran’s sole nuclear power plant has undergone an unexplained temporary emergency shutdown, state TV reported on Sunday. An official from state electric company Tavanir, Gholamali Rakhshanimehr, said on a talk show that the Bushehr plant shutdown began on Saturday and would last “for three to four days.” Without elaborating, he said that power outages could result.

Statistical analysis of the “Delta Variant” of Covid-19 compared to vaccinations in India, the United Kingdom, and the United States points to a narrative that runs contrary to what mainstream media and governments have been promoting. A closer look at the numbers reveals the Delta Variant may actually be strengthening as a result of increased vaccinations.First, here’s an important note. The last year has made me a “prudent conspiracy theorist.” My former self would often disregard nearly all conspiracy theories because I found them to be wanting. But things have clearly changed for me, millions of Americans, and the world...

Nearly half a year into the Biden administration and narrow Democratic control of both the Senate and House of Representatives, conservatives have essentially had to hold our collective breaths and hope that Democratic West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin continues to hold back the wildest of the insanity leftists had in store for us. And while the damage has indeed been bad - with multi-trillions down the drain and countless executive orders gutting everything possible about what was good and right about America - it could definitely have been worse. Thankfully, the damage done so far can mostly be reversed, IF...

As Americans seek to be accurately informed, how does one protect themselves from believing and spreading false information? And how can one consistently spot the truth amidst an abundance of error?With citizens struggling to find trusted media sources, the need for truth has never been greater. A recent Gallup Poll showed that only 9% of Americans trust the media “a great deal,” while 60% “have little to no trust” in the media to report in an unbiased manner.As our team of researchers at iVoterGuide provide analysis for thousands of candidates in thousands of races across the country, this is something...

Pennsylvania state Senator Dave Argall, who chairs the committee in charge of overseeing elections, told the Pennsylvania Capital-Star that a forensic audit was a “very real possibility.”“There are a lot of things under consideration right now, and I told them to check back in a week or two and we hope to have some more detail,” Argall said regarding a meeting he had with activists who support the audit on Wednesday.President Trump called out Argall and other state senators by name in a statement earlier this week. “Why is State Senator Jake Corman of Pennsylvania fighting so hard that there...

Eight years ago, it emerged that, during Obama’s reelection campaign, the IRS refused to grant tax-exempt status to Tea Party groups. Since then, the IRS has been relatively dormant. However, it’s now back at its old tricks. The Epoch Times reports that, when the IRS received an application for tax-exempt status from a Texas group that encourages its members to pray for all state and national leaders, an official denied the application on partisan political grounds.Here are the facts from the Epoch Times:An IRS official denied tax-exempt status to a Texas group that encourages church members to pray for state...

Contempt for this country has been spreading from academia, where it first gained a foothold during the Vietnam War, to infect the commanding heights of our institutions. The cities and towns that hist the most prestigious colleges and universities almost without exception are bastions of the left. Berkeley, California, Ann Arbor, Michigan, Cambridge, Mass, and not least Evanston, Illinois, home of Northwestern University.Evanston, Illinois made headlines recently by becoming the first city in the country to pay “reparations” to Black residents who lived there between 1919 and 1967, or who were descended from someone who did, and who “had been...

It is thirty-four years in the future. The year is 2055. A dystopian future worse than that of SkyNet for this is MagaNet where the followers of the Bad Orange Man rule without opposition. Yet there is hope, for an elderly Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry are able to transmit a message to the people of 2021 to warn them of the horror that is to come unless they pass the SR1 voting bill to federalize elections and take it out of state hands as laid out in the Constitution.This is the premise of an unintentionally hilarious new ad released...

I am so old that I remember when National Guard troops were authorized to shoot looters on sight following natural disasters. The understanding back then was that if allowed to spread, looting was a mortal threat to the health of communities. Things are very different today, as NBC News (to its credit) reports:In late May and early June 2020, looters smashed storefronts in the Bronx and Manhattan boroughs of New York City.Many were caught on tape, some with their faces visible. Others even posted their own videos of their actions those nights on social media. Hundreds were arrested.But a review...

That opens the silver and bronze medals wide open. Among the major contenders for those spots are the American Sarah Robles, whose best total is 290kg but who tends to total in the 280kg range, Emily Campbell from Britain, who just made 276kg at the European Championships and looks good for another 10kg at the Olympic Games. The deadline for weightlifters to qualify for the delayed Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games is tomorrow (May 31) and there is no doubt about who, among the qualifiers, wins the gold medal for attracting publicity. That award goes to someone who was unknown in...

Join with fellow FREEPERS to pray for AMERICA: For those in Authority in Government, Family, Military, Business, Healthcare, Education, Churches, and the Media. I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone: for kings and all those in authority that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. ~ 1 Timothy 2:1-2 Religion Forum Threads labeled [Prayer] are closed to debate of any kind.

Whether we are talking about COVID-19 in regards to its origin, vaccines and treatments; or whether we are talking about the fact that the FBI organized the events of January 6th; or whether we are talking about the massive voter fraud that stole the 2020 Election from Donald Trump, the evidence continues to mount that we are going up against a massive globalist cabal that will lie, cheat and steal in order to destroy America by any means necessary. 2020 was the year of conspiracy theories. We saw the fraudulent Impeachment proceedings… twice! We witnessed the outbreak of COVID-19 and...
